Abstract

When deeply virtual Compton scattering is used as a tool to study the structure of hadrons in an exclusive process, one way to analyze this process is to express the amplitudes in terms of generalized parton distributions (GPDs). The definition of the latter quantities requires a special kinematics, that cannot always be realized in experiments. Therefore, one may use the expression of the scattering amplitudes in terms of the invariant Compton form factors (CFFs) as a stepping stone to finding the GPDs. In a simple case we illustrate the influences of making approximations in the extraction of CFFs on the values obtained.
